sleeping bag comparison matrix

At NoZipp, we’re engineers and data nerds at heart. So when we needed evidence to verify our bags core value; we went to work. We visited some popular online shops and compiled over 250 current mummy bag models into one big spreadsheet.

In our market research, we've noticed that a sleeping bag’s core value is based on four categories: price, temperature rating, weight, and fill type. You can read more on why these categories are so important in our post: the big four.

The online matrix is sorted by price, but it’s much clearer and easier to work with the original excel spreadsheet. You can download it here.

For all its glorious data, the matrix cannot incorporate differences in design. It treats sleeping bags as a commodity, but in reality there is a wide range of less quantifiable features like: reliability, shape, comfort, ease of use, and ventilation. We think that NoZipp’s value lies not only in the commodity aspect, but in the enhanced feature set as well.

So if you're in the market for a new bag, we'd love if you chose a NoZipp Sleeping Bag. We’ve got a great warranty and we’ll be sure to deliver you an awesome product. But if we're out of your price range, or a few ounces heavier than you prefer; we still want the best for you. So even if you don't buy from us, you have all the best data to make things a little easier.

Thanks for reading!

*Update 2017-01-15: Added the same matrix, but with metric units below the original matrix. I also updated the downloadable spreadsheet.
